This is only the beginning.

Quick shoot with julie

I recently inherited a giant box full of old cameras. Some working some not. Julie is holding the one I like the most.

An ad for Sublime Hair Salon featuring a photo I took was in the metro news paper on October 19th. At last I got my hands on a copy.

Maddie's new hair

This is my little sister Maddie. She lightened her hair recently and stopped by today after her job interview so I took her picture.

I'm back from a long hiatus

I've been hiding from the radar lately because I have been very busy with life. I just shot my 5th wedding last weekend. I am eager to do more shoots and get creative again! I am finally more clear as to what I want to share and how I want to share it. Expect some amazing stuff to come!

Photo Assisting

I recently was a photographer assistant for Saad Al-Hakkak.

Check out his work here!

I have some projects coming up. I've been swamped with life, school, work so I haven't been able to do much shooting. There is a wedding in November I am confirmed to be doing plus a few shoots for Fall in the works. I'll keep you posted as always.

Problems

On a side note, the photo above is the very first digital picture I took trying to capture a moment/feeling. The brand of the camera was Visioneer and it was 4 megapixels. Taken in my hometown of C-bay.

Shoot with Sheilagh

First of all I want to credit and thank Maddie Hille for the AMAZING job on Sheilagh's hair! We make a good team. The shoot turned out less conceptual, we just kinda went with what we felt would be best. Here's a few snaps. Larger versions can be viewed at my Flickr and Tumblr.

Next up is a friend named Katie Cunningham. Also, work in progress of my new series "Problems".

Upcoming projects

I am very excited to announce a photoshoot I will be doing with my friend Sheilagh! I won't give anything away but I am really looking forward not only to take photos of this beautiful young lady and but also try a new concept.

Last night as I was arriving to Toronto, I had a light bulb moment about a series I'd like to do which I have named "Problems".

More info and some teaser photos coming soon.

Result of being bored

This is a re-edit of two photos that Josh Reyes took of me back in April. I decided to play around with them. It's inspired by the "Body Talk" album cover by Robyn.

Shoot at Hog's Back
